Has anyone used a DAO at work?

Question

I have recently found myself interested (again) in Decentralised Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) as a tool to help make decisions.E.g. at work where, for example, we need to decide what to develop and we have many stakeholders ... clients, sales, adjacent teams, management.Could some system that provides currency to stakeholders with weighting and a voting mechanism like a DAO lead to better decisions? How could we even prove the causal association if we thought it did?Curious if others in the HN community have experimented with this and to what outcomes. Keen to hear all stories, good, bad or if your also researching this.

A DAO is fundamentally a voting mechanism. It isn't and doesn't do anything without custom software implementation, and more importantly doesn't really have any enforcement mechanisms.I say this because a DAO doesn't help solve the human element, which is the real problem in my opinion. If a vote passes 51/49 where 49% is the dev team, they can simply boycott the results.

I have been thinking it was the best way to introduce people to Blockchain but having to deploy it on a layer 2 and having to teach people how to switch has discouraged me a bit for getting started.I was thinking it could be for the social club or a charity project.

A crud DB or excel sheet or slack emojis do the job just fine.
